How did you find a servo that small????
Its a magnetic actuator...basically just a coil of wire thats mounted to the vertical stabilizer with a small magnet inside the coil thats mounted to the rudder...send electricity to the coil and it generates a magnetic field that moves the magnet/rudder. Very little torque, but very low weight, and can be fully proportional like a servo, if the receiver youre using is capable of it.
